Asana (ASAN)

Leader in collaboration and work management space. Growth faster than others. Analysts' valuation based on 30% growth, but he sees about 45% growth. Co-founders were also co-founders of Facebook, so follow the smart people. Buy around $22. Price target of $36. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $27.00)

Another fast-growing cloud play that launched in a direct listing today. Reference price was $12, the opening price was $27, and is closed at $28.80. Asana was founded by a couple of Facebook co-founders. It offers a work management software that helps workers (including remote workers) to save time and be more productive. Margins have been sinking as ASAN is burning cash. They're spending a lot on marketing, up 92% in the first half of 2020. Revenues rose too, though in that period. Problem is this software management space is getting crowded with a lot of competitors which are already turning a profit. Also direct-listing tech stocks have a lousy track record. This is priced for perfection.
